good result came from this iire-it purified
the city and rid it Of plague that was far

in the Dictionary of English History" that
''the fever liens in which the plague lurke,l
were burnt, and the new houses which were
erected were far more healthy and better ar

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
HOW HUMAN SACRIFICE Is RE-
GARDED IN THE CONGO REGION.

One of the Most Interesting of the Jubilee
Gifts Received by Queen yictoria-The
Secrets of the Magic Mirror Explained.
Dangers of Alpine Tourists.
Modern science has clearly explained most
of the superstitions that were firmly believed
in two or three centuries ago, and among
them that of the magic mirror of the famous
astrologer Nostradamus In the middle of
the Sixteenth century Nostradamus was
looked upon with awe as holding intercourse
with familiar spirits. His magic mirror was
believed to disclose to those consulting it
events of the past and prophecies for the
future, and the credulity of the age is re
vealed by the fact that even the crafty Cath
erinc de Metlici was firm believer in the
magic mirror. 1t will be remembered that
in the midst of her intrigues she took counsel
of it and there appeared to her long line of
French kings followed by a crowd of Jesuits,
all struggling among themselves for the
French crown

~ the birchs bass Wild wood-hower
Eestied on drossy summer day.
Almost hidden In forest bower,
Where IL joyed the happy hours away.
For no earthly thought
That there could be aught
Faircr than this spot e'er marrcd its play.
Oftentimes q sunbeam lightly sported
Through the foliage where the flower grew;
Al, when thus the gold It's soft leaf courted,
Holier happiness IL never knew.
Heard. though distant quite,
The glad brooks delight.
AZ IL coursed the tangled forest through.
AID Il cbanced upon this summer morning
That butterfly, ~ beauty rare
Gold and azsirc tints its wings adorning-~
F1uttered hithcr through the scented air.
''oh. how dark and drear
is the forest here;
Hence fly 10 light and regions fnirr'
And was gone from o,st the quiet bower,
For II dreamed Of golden burning lignf:
But It's words the little forest flower
filled with yearpings and an unknown fright;
Dropped lis Lesuteous head;
..Dark and drear,. Il said;
"Oh, that might see the worIf 50 bright-
Smiled no longer as the morrow lightly
Drought its pearls and scintillating thread,
That the Towers have drink and be dressed
brightly,
And the mornings jewels crown each bead
